Shows you the leverage that Rocket League has. Kind of impressive.

What leverage?

As a F2P title is plays by the exact same rules as every other F2P game on PSN, NSO and XBL.

Didn't know that. I stand corrected. Though in my defense, the title made it seem like this was a Rocket League specific deal.

Yeah guys, sorry about the title. Could have been more specific. I just went full rant mode Trying to edit it now, for clarity sake.

Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

How did Rocket League manage that? I can't imagine companies would be able to just bypass the online paywall without any consequences.

You know it deserves the GOTY.

Its a F2P game. Those are playable on PS consoles without Plus. I'm not sure on Nintendo's (Switch Online) policy but I presume its the same.

For a while here, I thought I would be able to play Rocket League on PS4 as well. Then I remember I don't even own it on PS4. Saves me the hassle of having to figure out whether I want to have anything to do with Epic in regard to the game (connecting accounts across platforms requires an Epic Games account, I think).

EDIT: Nevermind, I guess I'm dumb if I'm thinking I can't play a game when it's going free-to-play. >_>

Since when is Rocket League FTP? When did that happened?
